CRUSH OF SOULS + LUNACY + COULDN'T CARE LESS

After moving from New York to France, Charles Rowell began filling his suitcase with various synthesizers and samplers while taking cheap bus rides to border countries.

While living in a hotel in northeast Paris, he played his demos to Third Coming Records, who quickly released his EP Bad Trip in 2020. Concerts became more frequent after the pandemic, with the release of Spellwound .

(A)Void Love, his new album, was written during a period of intense insomnia that coincided with a series of gigs as guitarist for Australian legend Harry Howard. Acoustic guitars and dramatic synthesizers lend a cold, wild nature to the rhythms; touches of minimal electronica, cold wave and synth pop can also be found, while the songwriting remains classic for fans of Echo & the Bunnymen and Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds.

There has always been a common thread between synth-punk, death rock and DIY noise in all of Charles' projects (Crocodiles, ISSUE, Flowers of Evil), but Crush Of Souls sinks even deeper into the darkness with his new album (A)Void Love. A dreamlike - or nightmarish - electric journey into the strange, not recommended for sensitive souls!

LUNACY is a dystopian shadow figure located in Rural Pennsylvania— a
character set in the empty corroded future focusing on themes of
loneliness, emptiness & mental illness. A character that often fits the
description of late ‘80s & early ‘90s post-apocalyptic films.

The project rose to the surface in 2016 with a set of 4 track demo
recordings and consistently released material every 6 months until the
release of the debut album Age Of Truth on Third Coming Records in
Winter 2019. All releases have always been based around art and design
of a specific release and have always been released in limited colorways,
always selling out quickly. The project often described as lo-fi, noise and
ambient explores different elements of shoegaze, minimal synth & post
punk while developing a sound unique and identifiable to the project.

Over a short time, Lunacy has shared the stage with the likes of Chrome, A
Place To Bury Strangers, King Dude, Health, Youth Code, Automelodi,
Bambara, Twin Tribes, Sextile, Skeleton Hands, SRSQ, & Tempers while
also having a small run in Europe with Some Ember & Offermose in
2018. Lunacy has a full US tour booked with MVTANT from September
through November of 2021 in anticipation for the Sophomore release
of “Echo In The Memory” - out April 1, 2022 on Oliver Ackermann’s (A
Place To Bury Strangers / Death
